Payment, deposit, wallet, refund, and release policy.

PrepPort uses finance verification gates so customer evidence, supplier costs, warehouse release, and shipment decisions do not move faster than cleared funds.

Payment principles

Customer payment evidence starts review. It does not prove settlement by itself.

Quote approval

Prices are valid only for the stated quote window and assumptions. Extra handling, supplier costs, freight, duties, taxes, payment fees, storage, oversized items, rework, disposal, urgent labor, and third-party fees may be billed separately.

Cleared funds

PrepPort may require cleared funds, approved wallet balance, or approved credit before supplier purchases, samples, packaging, labels, freight, storage release, outbound shipment, or tracking sync.

Evidence is not settlement

Receipt screenshots, transfer references, PayPal notices, bank screenshots, or customer statements do not automatically mark an invoice paid. Finance must verify provider settlement.

Blocked until verified

These actions remain blocked until finance clears the payment gate.

No external commitments

  • No supplier purchase order, sample order, bulk order, packaging purchase, label purchase, freight purchase, courier booking, product test, or third-party spend.
  • No promise of supplier price, lead time, availability, or carrier slot until it is confirmed and funded.

No release or sync

  • No inventory release, outbound shipment, customer pickup, transfer-out, carrier handoff, FBA handoff, tracking sync, Shopify fulfillment update, wallet credit, or paid status update from payment evidence alone.

Refunds, disputes, and chargebacks

Refunds and credits require review of work performed, third-party costs, evidence, and non-refundable commitments.

Potentially refundable

Unused prepaid service fees may be considered for refund or credit after deducting work performed, third-party costs, payment fees, chargeback costs, storage, disposal, and committed supplier or carrier costs.

Normally not refundable

Completed services, supplier purchases, custom packaging, labels, lab tests, freight purchased, payment fees, urgent handling, storage already incurred, disposal, and costs caused by incorrect customer data or changed instructions.

Chargeback response

PrepPort may pause work, hold inventory, suspend portal access, and submit operational evidence if a customer initiates a chargeback, payment reversal, dispute, or fraud claim.

Payment method safety

For security, exact payment instructions, account numbers, and payment links are sent only through approved finance channels.

Approved channels

Finance may use PayPal Business, Wise, Airwallex, bank settlement, or another approved provider. Availability depends on account status, country, currency, and transaction risk.

No public bank details

PrepPort does not publish bank details, card details, payment links, or private settlement records on public pages or in AI auto-replies.

Customer responsibility

Customer is responsible for sending payments only to verified PrepPort instructions and for checking currency, fees, reference, beneficiary, and anti-fraud details before paying.
